By the close of the survey on 26 August 2015, 5,553 members responded, of which 4,340 provided valid compensation data, resulting in a 6.2% response rate. This sample of completed responses produces a margin of error of ± 1.27% at a 95% confidence level. Salary information and other data in the report are entirely self-reported. Participants in the 2015 SPE Membership Salary Survey are based in 87 countries and 37 US states. More than three-fourths (77.2%) are citizens of the countries in which they work. Their employers headquarters are based in 79 countries. Approximately 49.0% of the respondents are based in countries outside of the United States. The percentage of female participants remained the same in 2015 (13.3%) as in 2014, compared with 12.2% in 2013, 11.3% in 2012, and 9.6% in Respondents were asked to provide their work status in The majority (95.6%) of respondents indicated that they are full-time, regular payroll employees. About 2.4% are contract, freelance, or part-time employees, and about 1.7% are self-employed or business owners. One-fifth (20.2%) of participants in this year s survey are primarily engaged in Reservoir Engineering, while 11.2% specialize in Production and Operations, and another 10.9% are involved in Drilling. Nearly one-third (31.3%) of respondents work for an independent oil and gas company, while one-fourth (26.7%) are employed by a service or manufacturing company, one-fifth (20.6%) are employed by an integrated oil and gas company, and almost one-tenth (8.3%) work for a national oil and gas company.

3 General Findings All compensation data presented in this Highlight Report is expressed in US dollars (USD). Data collected in local currencies has been converted to US dollars using the exchange rate as of 26 August 2015, which is the effective date of this year s data. Any table figures in bold text have a base size of 30 or more respondents and the data is more likely to be statistically significant. Petroleum industry professionals reported an average calculated total compensation of USD 206,020 in 2015, lower than reported in 2014 (USD 214,328), and similar to compensation reported in 2013 (USD 203,557). Although 2015 reported compensation is lower than in 2014, more than half (58.5%) of this year s respondents indicated their base pay increased from 2014 to However, this is a significantly smaller percentage than the 82.2% who reported an increase from 2013 to Those who experienced a gain in base pay saw their pay increase by an average of 8.0% over the past year. For respondents whose base pay decreased, the decline was by an average of 18.4% since Calculated mean base pay reported in 2015 (USD 153,492) was down compared with 2014 (USD 156,439) and similar to 2013 (USD 153,620). Other compensation (including bonuses) has been declining since 2013 (USD 64,000). This year, members reported an average of USD 52,931 in other compensation; the average in 2014 was USD 57,889. The number of professionals receiving a car allowance has also continued to decline. One-fourth (26.3%) of the respondents receive a car allowance, which is down from 28.4% in 2014 and 31.0% in The average age of energy and petroleum professionals reported in the survey is 43 years, which is consistent with the previous four years. However, this varies by gender; males average age of 44 is slightly higher than the overall average and significantly higher than females average age of 37. The level of experience professionals have in the industry remains consistent this year with previous years, with the average at 18 years. Likely as a result of varied average age, experience also varies by gender with male professionals having significantly more experience than females. The average years of experience for males in 2015 is 18.9, similar to 2014 at 18.8, and females is 11.8, up from 11.1 in The number of professionals who reported an education level higher than a bachelor s degree (44.2%) this year is comparable to 2014 (43.2%). More than three-fourths (76.6%) of industry professionals indicated that they are citizens of the countries in which they work in SPE Membership Salary Survey 2

9 Figure 6 The Impact of Gender Base Pay Increase and Decrease The majority of professionals of both genders experienced an increase in their salary since However, the number of respondents reporting an increase has declined significantly since 2014 (81.2% in 2014 compared to 58.4% in 2015 among male respondents). Those reporting no change or a decrease has risen, with 7.0% of males now reporting a decrease compared with only 1.7% in 2014, while those reporting no change has risen from 17.1% in 2014 to 34.6% in Female professionals were more likely to experience positive salary growth than their male counterparts and were also less likely to experience a decrease. 70% 60% 58.4% 61.1% Respondents' Change in Salary Since July 2014 by Gender 50% 40% 34.6% 34.3% Male 30% Female 20% 10% 7.0% 4.6% 0% Increase No Change Decrease 2015 SPE Membership Salary Survey 8

10 Figure 7 Change in Base Pay by Region Overall, 6.6% of respondents base pay went down and 58.5% received an increase in An even higher percentage (64.4%) of respondents in the South America, Caribbean, and Mexico region received a base pay increase. This could, at least in part, be attributed to the currency devaluation in Venezuela. Base Region Decrease in Base Pay No change in Base Pay Increase in Base Pay United States of America 5.1% 34.3% 60.6% Africa 7.8% 36.2% 56.0% Oceania, Australia, and New Zealand 10.0% 43.5% 46.5% Canada 10.8% 37.3% 51.8% Middle East 10.1% 27.6% 62.3% North Sea and North Atlantic 5.1% 37.8% 57.1% Northern and Central 22.7% 33.3% 44.0% Southeast 3.5% 35.7% 60.9% South America, Caribbean, and Mexico 8.8% 26.8% 64.4% South, Central, and Eastern Europe 7.8% 44.1% 48.0% 2015 SPE Membership Salary Survey 9
